If any of the ubuntu xorg edgers ppl is reading this:
r600g works nicely for a 64bit ubuntu with the ppa. But some commercial games are 32bit only. When manually compiling mesa with '-m32', and pointing LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH there, those work too. Could /usr/lib32/dri/r600g_dri.so be added to ia32-libs?

LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib32/dri wine '/media/4E4E529A4E527AA3/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft II/StarCraft II.exe'
did not work for me.

Hi all! I'm registered today , but i'm only reading for years. Sorry about this...

I'm very happy with the news on the Gallium3D on my RV770(ATI 4870HD 512mb) and the r600g(gallium) driver. It's fast than previous r600c(classic) but quite incomplete at this moment.

Play's every game at some decent speed. Openarena and others FPS run's at good ans fast speed. It's brilliant this new driver!!

I'm use fglrx privative for years. With my old Radeon 8500 64mb from years to today.Ihave many card, always ATI and some Nvidia(my old 8800GTS 640mb runs great today in my brother's PC , using nouveau).

I'm Glad to pass to Open Source Gallium3D and delete my fglrx.
I'm use GNU/Linux from 1.0.2 kernel to the latest 2.6.38RC4(my last kernel installed and run), a couple of years "using" GNU/Linux.

Is that all, what I need for testing newest feature of this driver, or I need enable some another options in xorg.conf or dri.conf?

I was looking for some current how-to - without succsess...
I am not an expert on video drivers, but i want testing newest open source radeon gallium 3D driver because fglrx is unusauble for me (video-tearing, new tearlees option does not work good on my "weak" chip)

All in all it's pretty nice. I am pleased that it did not crap out on me. I've played a couple games and its working. Even with Compiz enabled. Better then I expected. To any Xorg fellows here: Thank you!
